The Indianapolis Colts are almost stuck in limbo this offseason when it comes to the safety position. The Colts have released LaRon Landry, and Mike Adams is a free agent. Sergio Brown played well, but is not a starter for a team that has Super Bowl aspirations. This leaves Ryan Grigson in the same 2015-02-17 18:37:452/11: Horseshoe Heroes- Colts 2014 Positional Review: Safetyhttp://horseshoeheroes.com/2015/02/11/colts-2014-positional-review-safety/

The 2014-1015 season was one of frustration, distraction, and, ultimately, utter failure for both the fans and the members of the San Francisco 49ers&#039; organization. With their highly successful head coach, Jim Harbaugh, 49ers management at odds throughout the duration of the regular season, San2015-02-08 21:37:491/29: Golden Gate Sports- 49ers Have Only One Elite Player, According to Pro Football Focushttp://goldengatesports.com/2015/01/29/49ers-one-elite-player-according-pro-football-focus/
True or false? The San Francisco 49ers have only one elite player on their roster. True or false? The 49ers were six above-average players away from contending for the Super Bowl this season.

Going into the 2014 season, it looked like the Indianapolis Colts would have major problems at safety, especially since Delano Howell was placed on the injured reserve before the start of the regular season with a career-threatening neck injury.

Once Jim Harbaugh moved on from being head coach of the San Francisco 49ers, GM Trent Baalke made a comment saying: &#34;This isn&#039;t a rebuild situation.

The 2014 NFL season is over for the San Francisco 49ers, and most involved will probably want to forget the injury-riddled, drama-filled campaign. While, unfortunately, many of the lows overshadowed the good that occurred, there were still some players who deserve accolades for their performances.Â 2015-01-09 08:36:041/2: Sports Out West- San Francisco 49ers: Three things we learned in 2014http://www.sportsoutwest.com/2015/01/02/san-francisco-49ers-three-things-we-learned-in-2014/

As an 11-year veteran, Colts&#039; starting safety Mike Adams has likely seen it all. Signed in June of this offseason to a 1-year, $1,020,000 deal (now bargain of a contract), Adams was brought in to provide competition and veteran depth to the safety position.

In case you needed a reminder, the AFC South isn&#039;t very good at football. The Indianapolis Colts are clearly a cut above their divisional opponents.

The San Francisco 49ers entered week four in desperate need of a victory, but they welcomed the 3-0 Philadelphia Eagles to Levi&#8217;s Stadium.

The San Francisco 49ers have built their deep and talented roster by hitting on a high percentage of draft selections for most of the last half-decade (2012 being the lone exception). General manager Trent Baalke and company stayed true to form with another excellent draft that included value in mos2014-05-14 08:36:345/12: FootballPerspective.com- Analyzing Position Values In the 2014 Draftshttp://www.footballperspective.com/analyzing-position-values-in-the-2014-drafts/
The 2014 NFL Draft is in the books. The three-day event gives us a unique peek behind the NFL curtain; teams can and do say all sorts of ridiculous things, but the way the draft unfolds is the ultimate in what economists refer to as a revealed preference. For example, NFL decision makers might say [2014-05-12 00:36:295/9: Da Windy City- NIU Safety Jimmie Ward Drafted to 49ershttp://dawindycity.com/2014/05/09/niu-safety-jimmie-ward-drafted-49ers/
Former NIU Huskies&#039;s star Jimmie Ward was selected 30th overall in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft. Ward became the second highest drafted NIU player in the school&#039;s history, drafted only later thanLarry English, who was taken by theSan Diego Chargers at no.16 in the 2008 NFL Draft. 2014-05-09 13:37:485/9: 12th Man Rising- 2014 NFL Draft: NFC West 1st round selections, analysishttp://12thmanrising.com/2014/05/09/2014-nfl-draft-nfc-west-rivals-first-round-selections/
The Seahawks&#039; NFC West foes made some big picks in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft as they work to dethrone the defending champs this season. The Rams had two picks in the first round and worked to upgrade both their offensive and defensive lines with two Top 15 draft selections.

Speculation had been rampant that the San Francisco 49ers were looking to trade up in the first round of the NFL draft to secure a wide receiver or cornerback. With each passing selection, it seemed as if it was just a matter of time before the Niners jumped ahead to select an Odell Beckham or [&#822014-05-09 10:36:215/9: FootballPerspective.com- Round 1 2014 NFL Draft Recaphttp://www.footballperspective.com/round-1-2014-nfl-draft-recap/

The NFL Draft is finally here&#33; After an unbearable extra two weeks of &#34;analysis&#34;, we&#039;ll finally get down to the actual picks. While we probably won&#039;t hear from the Indianapolis Colts on Thursday night, due to not owning a first round pick (thanks Trent Richardson&#33;), we&#0392014-05-06 14:37:115/3: FootballPerspective.com- Compensatory Draft Picks From 2003 to 2013http://www.footballperspective.com/compensatory-draft-picks-from-2003-to-2013/
Here&#8217;s a good story from Jenny Vrentas about compensatory draft picks in the NFL. The NFL provides extra picks to teams who lose more unrestricted free agents than they sign, and no team has mani**** the system quite like the Ravens.

The NFL Draft has emerged from an afterthought to the center of the sports world every April spring. A cottage industry of draftniks has emerged. Teams spend more time, money, and other resources on scouting than ever before.

The NFL Draft is just 29 days away. The Indianapolis Colts have the fewest picks in this years draft with just five selections they can make. After a poor 2013 class, GM Ryan Grigson needs to nail this years draft class. The Colts have plenty of needs across the board, and thankfully this is a...2014-04-08 13:37:133/25: Golden Gate Sports- San Francisco 49ers: Who Will The 49ers Target In The Draft?http://goldengatesports.com/2014/03/25/san-francisco-49ers-will-49ers-target-draft/
By now, everyone has read hundreds of mock drafts that covers just about every possible scenario in the draft. Some of them make sense, but a lot more don&#039;t. The 49ers have been mocked a player from just about every position, and 49ers&#039; fans have been critical of those mock drafts because 2014-03-25 15:37:573/22: Ink on Indy- Are the Indianapolis Colts Done with Free Agency?http://inkonindy.com/2014/03/22/indianapolis-colts-done-free-agency/
The Indianapolis Colts have been very active in free agency this off season. That has been the case since GM Ryan Grigson took over two years ago. It has been a big philosophy shift since the days of Bill Polian who believed in building through the draft (a wise strategy when most of your cap spa...2014-03-22 17:36:543/13: Arrowhead Addict- Kansas City Chiefs Contacted Antoine Bethea Before He Signed With San Franciscohttp://arrowheadaddict.com/2014/03/13/kansas-city-chiefs-contacted-antoine-bethea-signed-san-francisco/

The first day of free agency brought about a lot of movement and surprises across the NFL, and the San Francisco 49ers were a major player in the day&#8217;s events. Some of the moves were unexpected and others filled a need, but what do they mean to the team itself?

Free agency kicked off at 4PM yesterday, the start of what may be the dumbest day of the year.

In each of the last two years, I&#8217;ve presented the AV-adjusted age of each roster in the NFL. Measuring team age in the NFL is tricky. You don&#8217;t want to calculate the average age of a 53-man roster and call that the &#8220;team age&#8221; because the age of a teamâs starters is much mor2014-01-29 23:36:4510/22: NFL Spin Zone- AFC South Week 7 Thoughts: Cecil Shorts, Vontae Davis, Houston Texans and morehttp://nflspinzone.com/2013/10/22/afc-south-week-7-thoughts-cecil-shorts-vontae-davis-houston-texans/
All four AFC South teams played against tough opponents in Week 7, and the Indianapolis Colts were the only winners despite playing the toughest team of them all. Andrew Luck was sensational in spearheading the 39-33 upset over the Denver Broncos, spoiling Peyton Manning&#8216;s return home to Indy.2013-10-22 11:35:459/20: NFL Spin Zone- Colts S LaRon Landry Out With Ankle Injuryhttp://nflspinzone.com/2013/09/20/colts-s-laron-landry-ankle-injury/
The Indianapolis Colts will be without the leading tackler in the league LaRon Landry on Sunday against the san Francisco 49ers. He has not practiced this week because of an ankle injury. The Colts could also be without LB Pat Angerer because of a knee injury.

It wasnât pretty. But when is an Oakland Raiders game ever? The Silver and Black lost to the Indianapolis Colts 21-17. It wasnât a season opener for the Raider Nation to fondly remember but there were several signs for optimism. In particular was the play of third-year quarterback Terrelle Pryor2013-09-09 08:36:5211/23: KFFL.com Hot off the Wire- Colts | Four probable for Week 12 KFFL:824728

There is a chance Indianapolis Colts LB Pat Angerer (foot) returns in Week 7, but it likely won't be at the expense of LB Jerrell Freeman, who has performed admirably in Angerer's absence. Freeman has a team-high 77 tackles in his five starts, which is 37 more than the next player, S Antoine Bethea. Angerer will likely be eased back into the lineup, maybe splitting repetitions with Freeman and LB Kavell Conner, the other inside linebacker.2012-10-19 12:36:3312/20: KFFL.com Hot off the Wire- Colts | Five practiceKFFL:761371
